1:40 PM -- If you haven't really "made it" in the U.S. until Saturday Night Live makes fun of you, then Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) almost made it over the weekend.

The SNL gang put together a skit that spoofs a video of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and Qwikster CEO Any Rendich apologizing about how the company communicated its recent rate increases and splitting off of its DVD business. It didn't make the cut on Saturday night's show, but NBC, which just expanded a streaming deal with Netflix and happens to be owned by Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK), made sure the bit got a second chance at life by posting it on the Web:
